The General Assembly, yesterday, approved a $28.05 billion general fund budget that is about a billion dollars less than what Gov. Rendell wanted but is still about $3 billion more than the state receives in revenues as pointed out by Nate Benefield of Commonwealth Foundation.

Here is what State Rep. Sam Rohrer said to the Reading Eagle about the budget: “The budget is unconstitutional and fraudulent. The revenue numbers are grossly overstated. This budget will go into deficit the day after the governor signs it. The next year is going to be an absolute disaster. You will see a gigantic tax increase.”

Rohrer ran for governor, but unfortunately was underfunded, and was defeated by GOP establishment hack Tom Corbett 68-32.
